Striped Opaline, Pompadour & Rust Dinner Candles | Set of 4

Candles are one of the few household objects that become more interesting when you refuse to make them match.

British Colour Standard’s striped dinner candles stack bands of Opaline, Pompadour, and Rust into a combination that feels a little unexpected and somehow exactly right. Hand-poured layer by layer, they bring enough color to change the mood of a table before anyone bothers lighting them, then burn for around eight hours with a tall, clean flame once dinner actually begins. Use all four together, scatter them among mismatched holders, or mix them with other colors and accept that your tablescape has developed opinions. Because candlelight is lovely, but candlelight with stripes is considerably harder to ignore.

About the Brand:  Britsh Colour Standard

British Colour Standard has built an entire design world around the radical proposition that everyday objects don't have to be visually apologetic. It started when founders Jackie Piper and Victoria Whitbread discovered an original 1930s British Colour Standard dictionary tucked away in an Oxfam shop and decided its wonderfully specific archive of historic colors deserved another life. Today, those rediscovered shades appear across candles, tableware, textiles, and objects for the home, with an emphasis on thoughtful materials, Fair Trade craftsmanship, and responsible production. It's part design archive, part color obsession, and a pretty convincing argument that progress occasionally looks like finding something old and realizing we shouldn't have forgotten it.
